At the beginning and end of the school day children enter school through various doors to avoid congestion. Staff will be present in all entry areas. If normal arrangements for drop-off or collection need to be altered, e.g. you are delayed, or another person is collecting your child, please let us know as this avoids any confusion or upset. Parents of Buttercup Class, please drop and collect your child from the Green Gates, on the right as you walk up School Lane.
Getting to School
To get to and from school, walking is definitely the best option! There are lots of benefits: it's healthier than travelling by car, it improves the safety of pedestrians and road-users, and it respects nearby residents and parking regulations. Alternatively, we have bike racks.
If you do need to travel by car, please park wisely and respectively of the village residents.
A Reminder About Attendance
Children are expected to arrive on time each day so that they are ready to learn from the start of every lesson. Regular attendance and punctuality help children make the most of their time in school and support their overall progress and wellbeing.
